Dist:0.9km west<br/>Much of this land is part of the Edinburgh Centre for Rural Economy and the Bush Estate, a complex of science based institutes, and the farm is part of the Scottish Agricultural Colleges organisation. The road just in front of the trees at the left is the busy A702 from Edinburgh to West Linton and, eventually the M74.
